Ethnic studies faculty at the University of California say calling attacks on Israeli civilians 'terrorism' is making Palestinian students and community members 'unsafe.'
Ethnic studies professors demanded the University of California stop referring to Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians as 'terrorism,' arguing in a letter to administrators that such language endangers students.
Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, firing thousands of rockets and slaying civilians in the streets. At least 1,400 Israeli citizens and 33 Americans were killed. Israel's retaliatory strikes have killed more than 7,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. At least 10 Americans may be among the more than 200 people held hostage by Hamas. UC leaders condemned the 'horrific attack' in a statement on Oct.
administrative communications 'distort and misrepresent the unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and thereby contribute to the racist and dehumanizing erasure of Palestinian daily reality,' wrote the council, which claims to represent more than 300 faculty members in the university system. The UC system consists of 10 campuses serving nearly 300,000 students across California. University officials did not respond to a request for comment.
Chancellor Phillip DiStefano quickly distanced the university from the ethnic studies department's statement, writing Thursday that the statement is 'not an official CU Boulder position' and directing readers back to the university's original statement condemning Hamas' attacks.
Pro-Palestinian rallies have erupted on college campuses across the nation since the war began. Dozens of student groups have come under fire for issuing statement supporting Palestinian 'martyrs' and 'liberators.' Earlier this week, a University of California, Berkeley, graduate student offered students extra credit if they attended a walkout in support of Gaza.
